Analysis of molecular polarization and interaction in adsorbed monolayers at electrodes part 1. Interaction between adsorbed dipoles

Abstract

The nearest-neighbour pairwise free energy of interaction in an adsorbed lattice-gas monolayer of dipoles is calculated assuming the Gouy-Chapman-Stern model for the structure of the interface. The contribution of dipole-induced dipole interactions to the molecular chemical potential of adsorbed molecules is calculated by solving the potential distribution in terms of Fourier-Bessel integrals.
